My Approach to Helping

I am a telepsychotherapist, which means that I work with clients online, via skype, or via telephone. I also work with clients in their homes. This model of therapy works for people who do not have time to go to an office for a session or do not have access to a car or just don't want to leave their residenceoffice.

I believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is extended into our relationships with others. I also believe that life can become unsatisfying when we get stuck in old issues and injuries.

I use a client-centered approach to therapy. That means that I trust and follow you into and through unresolved issues that interfere with fulfilling relationships with yourself and others. I also use an active model of therapy in that I will ask you to go beyond your stories and connect with yourself.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I am passionate about the value of psychotherapy. I have helped many clients move through their feelings of self-doubt to a genuine sense of joy that I feel excited by their journeys.

My Role as a Therapist

I view my role as a therapist as one of both following my clients and taking the lead. I endeavor during the first meetings to create an atmosphere of trust and safety. At the same time, I am also getting information that will help me tailor interventions specific to each client. My overall agenda is to help my clients move to a place of increased contentment.
